The Power of One

Summary: The queen has been kidnapped. Her warriors come to her rescue but discover a secret about themselves.

The Power of One

Let me tell
you a story of a land that no man or woman knows exists. It was
called Imperialum, a land where magic was born. It was an
enchanted place that no human could enter. The only creatures
that lived in this place were elves, dragons, wizards, and
beasts of legends. The ruler of this land, Empress Ayame, loved
every mythical creature as if each one was her own child. She
protected the Power of Entity from one who would use it against
Imperialum. This being was known as Countess Sovernity. She was
a dark elf that is controlled by the forces of evil. Sovernity
took many attempts to get the Power of Entity, but six young
female elf warriors helped Ayame protect the power. The called
themselves the Warriors of Gaea because they had the power of
the elements to help them. Kiara had the element Fire. Her
weapon was known as the Flaming Sword. Serleeena had the element
Water. She had the Trident of Poseidon. Serenity was known to
have the element of Wind. She uses a Bow and Arrows to aid her
in battle. The elf with the element Earth was called Liandra.
She uses a weapon called the War Hammer. Rianna used the element
Life. A Golden Staff was her weapon. The last elf to have an
element was Seclude. She has the element Death. Her weapon was
the Scythe of Hades. They may protect the Power of Entity, but
could they protect the Empress? Everyone in the land asked the
same question when they all heard Sovernity kidnapped Empress
Ayame.

"How
could this have happened?" asked one of Ayame's counselors.

"We
didn't know Sovrnity would do this." said Kiara harshly.

"Sovernity
must have known that we would be on guard if she exposed
herself." Rianna suggested.

"But why
would she kidnap Ayame?" Liandra asked.

"Yeah
why didn't she go after the power?" another counselor
asked.

"I
suggest we go to Sovernity's castle and rescue the Empress."
Serleena said.

"I also
agree. We shall go to the Land of Death and Solitude."
Seclude suggested.

They all
nodded their heads and left the land riding their horses. In the
palace one of the counselors went into Ayame's quarters and
walked up to a mirror. An image started to appear and Sovernity
was revealed.

"Countess,
they have left and are heading for the castle." he told
her.

"Good,
tell your men to be ready." Sovernity replied.

"Yes
Countess."

The counselor
vanished and the Countess left her throne and walked to a huge
sphere that held Ayame prisoner. Her wrists and ankles chained
her up.

"They're
coming Empress." Sovernity told her.

"They
will not fall for your plan Sovernity." she said.

"They
will if they want to save you." the Countess told the
imprisoned Empress.

Sovernity put
her hand into the sphere and grabbed Ayame's face.

"My
dearest sister, your kingdom will soon be mine." Sovernity
said.

Ayame was
very angry and spit on Sovernity's face.

"You
little brat," she growled, "How dare you!"

****************

The young
warriors were resting by a river and letting their horses take a
drink of the clear water.

The two
glared at each other for awhile. The other elves just lay on the
grass ignoring the two of them bickering.

"You
think they will ever stop?" Seclude asked.

"Not
until they both die of dehydration." Kiara chuckled.

"Come on
you two, stop it right now or I'll create a tornado to calm you
down." Serenity threatened.

The two
glaring knowing Serenity would create a hurricane with one arrow
and make them fly to a village if she wanted to. Liandra got up
and went for her horse. She grabbed the bridle and petted the
horse on the nose.

"Why
would Sovernity want the Power of Entity?" Liandra
thought, "What's so great about it?"

Suddenly the
ground started to shake. Everyone else got up and was trying to
keep their balance.

"What's
going on?" yelled Rianna.

"I think
it's an earthquake." yelled Liandra.

"Did you
hit the ground with your hammer?" asked Seclude.

"Oh
yeah, I just felt like I should shake things up a bit."
Liandra said sarcastically.

The
earthquake finally stopped. Everyone remained still until they
were sure it wouldn't start up again. When they thought it was
gone they started to move inch by inch. Then the ground started
to rip open. The warriors got their weapons ready just in case
something bad was going to pop out of the enormous hole. Figures
jumped out and landed on the opposite side of them. The hole
closed up and the dust cleared. There in front of the warriors
were six men who were dressed in black and had the same weapons
as the elves did.

"Who are
you?" asked Serenity.

"We are
the Dark Knights of Gaea." said the man who had a sword.

"You
mean Knights of Sovernity." Rianna said.

""What
do you want?" Liandra asked.

"We
would like to escort you to the Countess's palace for cake and
tea." said the knight with the scythe.

"We've
already ate." Kiara said.

"Well
how about we just take you there then?" asked the knight
with the war hammer.

"We have
horses to ride." Seclude said.

"Not
anymore." the first knight said.

He took his
sword out of his sheath. The blade went on fire. With his sword
he swung it and all the horses were burn to a crisp. All the
girls gasped and had very angry looks on their faces.

"You
monster!" yelled Liandra.

She lifted
her hammer and swung it at the fire knight. The knight with the
war hammer blocked her attack.

"What?"

"You and
I are equal in strength and skill," he said. "So you
can't beat me."

"I can
try." she said.

She jumped
back and slammed her hammer to the ground creating a massive
earthquake. The other Warriors and Knights jumped out of the way
so they wouldn't get hit by any loose chunks of earth flying
around. The knight lifted his hammer and also slammed it on the
ground to counterattack.

"No
way." Liandra said in shock.

"Told
you so." he said with a smirk.

"I'm
coming Liandra!" yelled Serenity.

She ran
towards her when the Dark Knight with the same weapon as herself
jumped in front of her.

"Sorry,
no helping." he said.

"Fine,
if you don't move, I'll make you move." she yelled.

She pulled
out an arrow and strung it on her bow. She pulled the string
back and released the arrow and created a tornado. The knight
did the same. He took out an arrow and shot at the tornado.
Serenity's tornado vanished without a trace.

"Damn
you!" she mumbled.

"I guess
we have to fight our way out of this." Kiara said.

They all got
in front of their counterparts. They all just stood there
waiting for the other to strike first. The tension was building.
No one was moving. Then a rock fell over and they all went for
each other's throat.

"I think
not little sister, these are different types of knights."
Sovernity said giggling at her younger sister.

"What do
you mean?"

"They
are known as the Dark Knights of Gaea," she explained.
"They have the exact powers as your precious elves have."

"So
what, they'll find a way to beat your copies." Ayame said
with hope in her voice.

"Oh you
think?" Sovernity asked.

"Everyone
has a weakness," she began, "And they'll find their
weakness."

*******************

We have to
keep going!" yelled Serleena.

"They're
to strong!" yelled Rianna, "How are we going to beat
them?"

The warriors
and knights matched blow for blow. There was no way of defeating
such a formidable foe. Serleena attacked her counterpart with a
blast from her trident. He deflected the attack and it went
right for the Dark Knight of Earth. The blast hit his arm and
screamed in pain.

"Attack
the opposite element!" she yelled, "They won't be able
to fight them!"

"Hey if
it works." Serenity said.

Serenity went
after the Knight of Earth and others did the same. Rianna fought
the opposite element Death. He attacked with his scythe. She
blocked his attack with her staff.

"Hey she
was right!" she yelled.

Liandra
fought against the Water knight. H created an orb and shot it at
her. Liandra lifted up her War Hammer and hit the orb far into
the distance.

"That's
impossible." the water knight said in a shaky voice.

"Nothing
is impossible of you put your mind to it." Liandra said
with confidence.

All the other
knights were having problems beating their female counterparts.
The girls were beating the pants off these guys. Every attack of
theirs was perfect in every way. All the knights go tin a
straight line and were ready for an all out attack.

"Ready
men?" asked the Earth knight.

"Yes."
they all replied.

They powered
up to their maximum power. The element warriors were ready. They
got their weapons ready for the attack.

"Hope
you like this one!" all the knights yelled.

They released
their attacks. All of the attacks began to fuse with one
another. They created a huge orb and it was heading right for
the girls.

"Stand
you ground!" yelled Liandra.

"Steady!"
yelled Kiara.

They all
closed their eyes and were ready to brace the impact of the orb.
The orb was about to hit them when out of no where the warriors
started to glow.

"Now!"
yelled Rianna.

The light
left their bodies and destroyed the orb. The light then went
after the knights. They all had panic on their faces. They tried
to run but it was effortless. The light consumed their bodies.
When the light vanished the knight were gone.

"What
just happened?" Seclude asked.

"I don't
know, Serleena said, "It was amazing."

"I've
never experience something like that before." Liandra
mumbled.

"What
ever happened, it has been done," said Kiara, "Lets
just get going."

They all
looked once more at the battle site and left without saying a
word.

*******************

Sovernity was
very upset about the ending of the battle. Ayame was laughing
hysterically.

"That
has to be the most funniest thing I've have ever seen happen to
you." Ayame said.

Sovernity
walked to the sphere and slapped her on the cheek.

"Do what
you want to me, but that won't help you now." Ayame said
still laughing a bit.

She was
calming down a bit and just stared at her sister. Sovernity was
staring at the mirror and smiled.

"So
they don't know at all," she thought, "That
can be used to my advantage."

She turned
around and walked to a window and put her hand out. A black bird
flew and landed on her arm.

"Come
forth Raven." she said, "I have a special job for
you."

The bird flew
in the air and transformed into a young woman wearing nothing
but a black dress and had black wings behind her.

"Yes
Countess." she replied.

"I want
you to catch the elves and bring them here." she said,
"Will that be hard for you?"

"Not at
all Countess." she answered.

She
transformed into the black bird and flew off

*******************

The elves
were walking through a swamp known as the Bog of Retched Stinks
and Odors. A place where you thought you knew the smelliest
thing in the world. Well you would be wrong. The stench there
was unbearable. The girls had to cover their noses with part of
their shirts.

"How far
until we can see the peek of the castle?" Liandra asked.

"Not
far," said Serenity, "I think the smell is clearing
up."

"Why
don't you take a big whiff and check for us." Rianna
suggested.

Serenity
glared at the elf and turned her head away. They finally reached
the end of the bog and ran as fast as they could out of it.

"I can
breathe again!" Serleena yelled.

"Don't
get to excited Serleena," Kiara said, "We better not
stop. We're almost to the castle."

They kept
running not noticing the young woman sitting on a branch
swinging her leg back and forth.

"That's
them."

She jumped
into the air and started to flap her wings vigorously. Then a
mist started to form and came around the girls in an instance.

"What is
this?" Seclude asked.

"It
looks like a mist of some sort." Serenity said.

They started
to cough badly. Kiara was looking around and couldn't see
nothing but darkness all around them. One by one they started to
fall into a deep sleep. The mist cleared up and Raven landed on
the ground with grace.

"That
wasn't hard at all." she thought. "To think
they have been giving the Countess trouble."

She put her
hand in the air and hundreds to a thousand of black birds came
upon her and the fallen warriors. She commanded them to pick
them up and take them back to Sovernity's castle. Many chose a
body and took each of the frail bodies to the air and vanished
into the distance.

*****************

One by one
they all woke up lying on the ground in front of a throne. They
all got up and looked around wondering where they were.

"Ah good
you're awake." said a well-known elf.

They all
turned around and saw Sovernity standing by a window.

"Where's
Ayame?" Rianna asked.

"She's
right over there." she said pointing across the room.

They all
looked to their sides and saw Ayame still chained in the sphere.

"Ayame,
are you all right?" asked Liandra.

"You
shouldn't have come." she whispered.

"What do
you mean?" Serleena asked.

"She
didn't want me to get the Power of Entity." Sovernity
interrupted.

"What do
you mean?" Serenity asked, "The power is back at the
palace."

"Not
quite." she said, "You see, the power is right here in
this room."

They looked
at her like she finally lost it. What was she talking about?

"You
don't know?" Sovernity asked, "Well then I'll tell
you."

"Tell us
what?" Liandra asked.

"You
six, are the Power of Entity." she announced.

They just
stood there not moving a muscle. She must have gone off the deep
end this time for good.

"You
must be joking." Kiara finally said.

"I'm
not." Sovernity said with joy in her voice, "You see,
the Power of Entity is the power of a being. You six can form
into tone being known as Entity, the most powerful warrior in
the entire universe. A creature created to either destroy the
universe or save it from destruction."

"This is
not true," said Seclude, "This is not true."

"Why
didn't you tell us Empress?" Rianna asked, "Why didn't
you tell us that we could become a being with immense power?"

"Because
you told me not to until the time was right." Ayame said.

"Huh?"
they all said.

"You six
were once known as Evolution." she started to explain, "You
were the being that created this planet that we live on. One day
you decided what would it be like to be mortal. So you came to
me and asked me to make you mortal. Sovernity some how found out
that you were becoming mortal so she attacked the palace. My
guards were keeping her busy. I transformed you not into one
mortal, but six creatures. By the time Sovernity came I
commanded six dragons to take you all to a safe place until I
could help you."

The six just
stood there not saying a word. They couldn't believe it. They
were one life form that wanted to experience life and death as a
mortal.

"So,
since you know your true self I am going to get what I deserve."
Sovernity said.

She stretched
her arm out and six orbs formed and went straight for the
ladies. They shot right through them. They let out a weak scream
before hitting the ground. They were lying motionless with the
orbs floating above them.

"No!"
yelled Ayame.

"Well
that was fun." Sovernity said walking towards the orbs.

The orbs
started to spark wildly. Sovernity hesitated but kept
progressing towards the light show the orbs were showing.

"Stop!
You can't control them like that!" Ayame yelled.

She was
trying to get free. She kept yanking on the chains to loosen
them.

"Don't
bother sister," she started to say, "By the time you
get free, I will control the most powerful being in the
universe."

Suddenly the
orbs started to created more sparks. Sovernity stopped in her
tracks and was backing away slowly. Then the orbs started to
expand.

"What's
going on?" Sovernity asked.

"They
couldn't do that." Ayame thought, "Or could
they?"

The orbs got
bigger and bigger until they exploded. Sparkles were flying
everywhere. When they cleared up the spirits of the Warriors of
Gaea were floating.

"What
happened?" asked Ayame.

"We knew
that we couldn't be control by one with a impure heart and
mind." Seclude voice echoed.

"We then
figured out that we could leave our prisons by controlling the
orbs." said Serenity.

"Sovernity,
if you want us, you'll have to fight us all at once."
Liandra told her.

"Well
that's fine with me, " she yelled, "But I won't stop
until I get what I deserve!"

Sovernity
created fireballs in her hands and was ready to launch them when
the spirits started to glow brighter and brighter. Sovernity
covered her eyes and Ayame closed her eyes and turned her head
away. When the light vanished there was one person standing in
front of them.

"It
feels good to be back in one piece again." Evolution said
as her voice echoed.

She looked at
her hands and felt her face. Then she looked at Sovernity and
glared at her.

"Sovernity,
last time we met you were trying to capture me and use me for
your own purposes," Evolution said, "Now it's time to
meet your destruction."

She
materialized Rianna's Golden Staff. It began to glow. Sovernity
stuck her hand out and blasted the fireball she created before.
Evolution didn't nudged one inch. She stuck out the top of the
staff and the fireballs dissolved into thin air. Sovernity
started to shake. Evolution got stronger. But how? She was
separated for years. There was no way she could get that strong.

"Now my
turn, and the final move." Evolution whispered.

The staff
started to glow once again and a huge orb was formed. Evolution
swung her staff and the orb was going straight for Sovernity.
She started to run but it was no use. The orb consumed her body.
She was screaming out of fear and pain. When the screaming was
done, the orb vanished and Sovernity also vanished without a
trace. Evolution's staff vanished as well and she started to
glow. Ayame watched in amazement. When the light vanished
Evolution was back to being Kiara, Serleena, Serenity, Liandra,
Rianna, and Seclude.

"You're
back." Ayame finally said.

The girls
walked to the orb and released Ayame from her imprisonment.
Ayame rubbed her wrists and just looked at her warriors.

"So how
was it?" Ayame asked.

"It felt
right." Kiara said.

"Yeah,
like it was normal for us." said Rianna.

"So now
are you ladies going to keep using that technique?" Ayame
asked putting her hands on Seclude and Liandra's shoulders.

"Only as
a last resource." Serenity answered.

They all
walked out of the castle and back to Imperialum. They were
getting closer to their home when Ayame stopped walking.

"What's
the matter Ayame?" Serleena asked.

"I was
just wondering, what happened to Sovernity?"

"Well,
she in another dimension." Liandra told her.

"Huh?"
a confused Ayame asked.

"Were
keeping there," Serleeena said, "You see, she not her
usual self at this point. So we sent her there to regain her
strength and then she will be return as a elf like all of us."

Ayame gave
them a smile and they began walking to Imperialum. From that
point on the didn't tell anyone about Evolution. When people
would ask about the Power of Entity, they said it just vanished.
They still think back on the adventure they enjoyed a lot.
